Just wait until your kids are in high school - especially the upper years. You will quickly see that there is plenty of wasted time where there is no instruction/tests going on. Couple that with AP/IB schedules - [b]sometimes it makes more sense to skip school so the kids can actually get their work done.[/b]

My senior and I are playing the game - I tell her she has to go, she protests, I'm sure she'll either do a half day Monday and skip Tuesday.[/quote]

Absolutely. My oldest only skipped when he could do more work at home than at school. My youngest attends the days before breaks only if there's sure to be instruction or something important. She will attend on Monday because she has a test. They're both straight A students doing advanced courses.

This is a good thing. It teaches kids how to manage their priorities instead of forcing blind compliance.
